Fixed vs Growth mindset: how two simple mindsets can control your sex life

When you experience an issue in your sex life do you just accept it as it is? Think that it will be permanent issue and will not improve? Perhaps you limit your life by restricting the possibilities for sex, relationships or dating because you fear you will ejaculate too soon, lose your erection or just be too sexually anxious about your performance.

​If so perhaps the fixed mindset is in the driving seat in your sex life. As a result it dominates your life and restricts your chances of sexual success, enjoyment and pleasure. Fixed mindset doesn’t seek improvement, or resultions – it is remained stuck and leaves you in the cycle of your sexual issues.

On the opposite end is the growth mindset. Growth mindset is the ability to activity seek out resolution, be willing to face the issue, be ready to take risks, and be willing to grow from the issue.

​Your sexual experience and performances are not fixed or set. With the right mindset you can grow from this experience and transform the sexual dysfunction, fears and anxieties for growth and sexual transformation. In fact, many of my clients has reported back to me that not only have their sexual issue been resolve – other areas of their life naturally transformed and change as well.

Men, mindset and sex

Men often become fixated on their sexual issues, become hyper focus on what is happening with their penis during sex and putting too much pressure on themselves to please their partner.

The result – the pressure, the fear, anxieties and fixed mindset causes them to ejaculate too soon or lose their erection. They feel they are a failure and feel devastated. They become hypersensitive to what has gone wrong. Men remain focused on that point, become stuck and unable to move forward.

Does sound and feel familiar to you?

If so, you are not alone. ​This is how the fixed mindset operates – it keeps you restricted, stuck, anxious and limits your sexual success.

The Fixed Mindset

Disconencts from the moment and hyper aware/focused on what your penis is doing.

Less resilience

Fears being vulnerable and not a man

Poor coping skills for failing

Avoids challenges (sex/dating) which will reveal your sexual issues

Failing / fear of failure is devasting and see it as a stepback

Negative and limiting beliefs and self-talk

Focus on past experiences and what has gone wrong

Harsh on themselves

The growth mindset

The growth mindset allows you to tap into the most important sexual qualities:

​the ability to be truly present (without worrying what your penis is doing)

to be resilient

to be vulnerable

Not be afraid to take risks

steps into challenges

Focus on strengths

Optimistic and open to new experiences and learnings

when things do go wrong respond with compassion and kindness.

Gives you the ability to ask empowering questions rather than negative self-talk.

How to last longer in bed with a growth mindset

If you identify with the fixed mindset know that you are not doing anything wrong, it’s simply a set of circumstances that lead you to this place. No person has a 100% growth mindset all the time. We are all human.

A powerful tip to implement now

Your self talk/ inner dialogue has a huge impact not on your mindset but also your penis and body.
